Tomorrow, Monday, January 5, we will commemorate the birthday of Paramahansa Yogananda with a service beginning at 7 pm and ending at approximately 8:30 pm. Please bring a flower to this service as a symbol of your devotion, and a donation may be given as a symbol of your loyalty to the work of Self Realization Fellowship. After the service, we will have a period of fellowship with cake and tea to celebrate Master’s birthday.
Please note that our 3-hour meditation on Tuesday, January 6, has been cancelled.
Next Saturday, January 10, we will have a special meditation in honor of Paramahansa Yogananda, beginning at 10:00 am and ending at 4:00 pm. Please bring a fruit as a devotional offering, and a donation in a white envelope may be offered.
- Please be sure to come early, and be prepared to stay at least until the intermission. No one will be permitted to enter the chapel once the meditation has begun. Arriving early will also give you time to become comfortably settled and calm before the meditation begins.
- You may bring a meditation armrest, if you wish to practice the Aum Meditation Technique during the meditation.
- If you have a cough or cold, please meditate at home rather than attend the meditation service.
We are continuing to collect donations of food, clothing, and household items for needy families and individuals, including toiletry items, baby powder and diapers, and donations of canned goods and other non-perishable food items in cardboard and plastic containers. Warm coats and other outdoor clothing are also in need. We plan to continue this service throughout the year, and you may leave your donations in the labeled containers in the room off the south end of the foyer.
A 2026 Schedule of Events for Greenfield Retreat is now available on the free literature table.
